The 3rd UN Conference on Financing for Development (FFD3) will be take place on July 13-16, 2015 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. This conference will be attended by delegations from governments, private sector, and hundreds of civil society activists. The conference outcome will influence the adoption of global post-2015 development agenda. It is hoped that the outcome will support momentum to correct the international financial system that has thus far failed to eradicate global poverty and reduce inequality.
